UTSA men’s basketball rained out at San Jose State

Perhaps for the first time in UTSA men’s basketball history, the Roadrunners have been rained out.

Yes, in basketball.

UTSA’s game at San Jose State in San Jose, Calif., was cancelled Thursday night due to heavy rain and a leaky roof at the Event Center.

After watching the UTSA women beat the San Jose State women 64-60 in San Antonio, UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey walked up to press row and announced the decision.

An Associated Press story out of San Jose provided a few more details. The story said that heavy rain began falling in the area about an hour before tipoff.

Water began to leak onto the court with 25 minutes left in warmups, according to the AP story.

The UTSA men (8-20, 3-13) will finish regular season Saturday at Utah State. San Jose State (9-18, 3-13) closes at home against Texas State.

In San Antonio, the UTSA women finally started to hit a few shots in the second half, defeated the Spartans and clinched a bye through the first round of next week’s Western Athletic Conference tournament.

Holding fourth place in the WAC, the UTSA women (15-13, 9-8) close the regular season at home Saturday against Utah State.

Both the men and the women are headed to Las Vegas next week for the WAC tournament at the Orleans Arena.
